Using multidisciplinary skills such as CPT analysis, geological and seismic interpretation, I work on glacially-influenced landscapes to support offshore renewable developments in the North Sea for research and commercial projects. I have extensive field work experience analysing and interpreting the architecture and geometry of submarine mass transport deposits. I have basin modelling experience predicting thermal regimes and differences in heat flow between oceanic and crustal domains and the impact of source rock maturation during basin evolution.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sea-background-f\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"content-menu\"><li class=\"active\"><h5><a href=\"#tabs-1\">Biography<\/a><\/h5><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container tabs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\" id=\"tabs-1\"><div class=\"col-12\"><p>2021 &#8211; ongoing: Marine Geoscientist, British Geological Survey<\/p>\n<p>2013 &#8211; 2021: Exploration Geologist, Nexen-CNOOC<\/p>\n<p>2010 &#8211; 2015: PhD Sedimentology, University College London<\/p>\n<p>2008 &#8211; 2010: Environmental Geologist, MWH<\/p>\n<p>2007 &#8211; 2008: Geotechnical Estimator, Balfour Beatty<\/p>\n<p>2003 &#8211; 2007: MESci (Hons) Exploration Geology, Cardiff University<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":83880,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"9812,8183,82027,33413,8160,68703","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"tags":[],"bgs_role":[190],"level":[],"location":[5],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
